it appears that the authentification servers have some troubles right now.
I aswell had punctuation in my password and could always log in fine (besides a few single failures which i assumed were because of typos)
But after i once again lost connection while trying discovery mode, i was unable to log in again due to wrong pass.
I did change my password aswell to test, and still cant get in.

i have just finished the download and started the game ,
i had a 20 minute wait for the game to initialize,
the hardest part was not knowing what was happening ,
and then finally i try to log in , it wont accept my password ,
:L typed my email into the username spot for attempt 2 , no good.
then i type my username back in , then retyped the password , and then instead of hitting go or login i clicked elsewhere so i was no longer typing into the password box ,
then like magic it accepted my password ,

it seems thepassword box will submit a blank password entry if you do not click elsewhere and finish editing the text field ,

thanks!

ps a loading bar for initialization would be awesome! ,
also one more thing , the graphics are set too high on default , the reason initialization took so long , it was only after i lagged my way to options and lowered them did the speed of ...everything go back to normal
